Contents Under Pressure reads as a novella in verse.
Bernadette Hall says:
Years after the Christchurch earthquakes, the breakages continue. A young physics
student is falling apart. His mother takes to the streets at night, tagging her rage
and anguish onto the city's walls. Their story is raw, painful, brave and at times
strangely hilarious. Language is shattered in these pages, street art conjures up
the nightmares. There's energy to burn here.
Contents Under Pressure blends poetry, narrative and collage, complemented by collage-style illustrations by Gail's daughter Rata Ingram.
If you would like a copy but cannot attend the launch, pre-order before 30 April for free p&p within New Zealand, through www.theseventhletter.nz, or this website HERE.
Gail Ingram is a widely published and successful poet and an internationally recognised writer of flash fiction. Read more about Gail and her writing on her website www.theseventhletter.nz
